"Either that, or we'd have to get real jobs. Which, you know, might be kinda difficult with a city full of goons looking for us," Nate replied. "Not to mention the really interesting things we'd have to list on our resumes."
"Nate's enjoying his new line of work," the Major deadpanned.

Daws laughed. "Yeah, I noticed that. Just think of it this way, Nate -- you can always call it 'housesitting experience' if ya have to."

"You have a unique definition of the word 'house'," Nate observed clinically.
Then he glanced at Handy. "Now, babysitting, on the other hand..."
Handy glowered, and the Major glanced toward the back seat with a chuckle. "You might've noticed the order of Handy's universe has been a little shaken up with Nate around. We're expecting him to throw us all over and elope with Gracie any day now."
"I wouldn't do that!" his faithful follower objected.

"You sure, Handy?" Daws grinned wickedly. "'Cause I'm sure the Padre would be more than happy to let you two use the church, yanno . . ."

Handy hunched his shoulders, looking hurt. "Well, if I'm just around to get picked on--"
"Aw, come on." Nate grinned and squeezed Handy's shoulder. "I wouldn't want to throw my dad's most faithful partner out of work. Honest. If I'm ever stepping on your duties, you just shoulder me out of the way and do your job."
Handy sighed, but he looked somewhat mollified.
Vance grinned at Daws. "Another day, another dissention in the ranks."

Daws chuckled and shook her head. "You're more equipped to deal with it than I'll ever be, Jerod."

Vance smiled wolfishly. "Who's dealing with it? I sit back and let them sort it out themselves. After all, even I've got to get some kind of entertainment in life."

Daws laughed brightly. "So that's what it really takes to be a leader of men -- a secret desire for amusement."

"My secret's out," Vance said deviously.
By this time they had reached Daws' apartment, and he pulled up to the curb to let her out. "Okay, then." He squeezed her hand briefly. "Let me know the minute you hear anything from Proteus--and watch yourself as always, Regina."
